TOP 11 PEER REVIEW BEST PRACTICES WITH PAUL VERARDI
After 30 years of working in the trenches with physician and hospital leaders, and after conducting innumerable onsite training sessions and national courses, HortySpringer’s Paul Verardi has now created an 11-session “on demand” education and training series for physician leaders and hospitals.
The main messages from this series are clear:
- The “peer review” world has changed dramatically – and for the better!
Purge the past! Be willing to learn from your colleagues around the country and from those of us who have been privileged to serve them. Be unwilling to simply accept the “status quo” of peer review – which in most hospitals continues to be ineffective and destructive, and completely fails to achieve the two main goals of promoting patient safety and practitioner success!
- Remember the bottom line – if it is not practical and doable…it is absolutely nothing!
- Follow the step-by-step guidance in this series, utilize the numerous tools provided, and truly transform your processes and your culture!
- And then, use the sessions as enduring resources in the coming years to reinforce the best practices, train your “new” leaders and reviewers, and ensure that the gains you achieve now remain ingrained in your culture!
This series is designed to be viewed as a whole, with the sessions being like gears in a watch. But it has also been developed so that if you only need assistance with several aspects of this complex area, each individual session delivers on our commitment to provide you with substantive, concrete guidance and to not waste one single minute of your time – i.e., the “no fluff” rule!
